These Spaghetti Tacos are the ultimate comfort food mash-up—crispy taco shells stuffed with saucy spaghetti, seasoned beef, and melted cheese. Fun, nostalgic, and unbelievably delicious, they’re perfect for family dinners or playful gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz spaghetti noodles, broken in half
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 jar (24 oz) pasta sauce
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade mix)
  • 12 crunchy taco shells
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat a drizzle of oil and cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Add pasta sauce and cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss until coated and combined.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place taco shells upright in a baking dish.
  6. Fill each taco shell with the spaghetti-beef mixture and top with shredded cheese.
  7. Bake for 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and shells are warm.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley or cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Swap beef for ground turkey, sausage, or plant-based crumbles.
  • Mix in sautéed peppers or onions for extra veggies.
  • Add cream cheese or ricotta to the spaghetti for extra cheesiness.
  • Best enjoyed fresh—store spaghetti separately from shells if making ahead.
  • Use flour tortillas instead of crunchy shells for a softer version.
